Do you find it difficult to really switch off and relax?

Are you always jumping up and finding things to do, rushing round all day, then find you are too exhausted to sleep, or is sleep the only time you do relax?

Does your work or home life cause you so much stress that you feel physically unwell?

Has your doctor told you that you need change your lifestyle so that you reduce your Stress levels?

Learning how to really 'Relax' is important for body and mind, but it's more than just sleeping; relaxation reduces the levels of toxins and chemicals that are created in the body by stress, tension or maybe work pressure.

This Self-Hypnosis Audio Session on CD takes you on a deep, intense, therapeutic, relaxing journey of body and mind; a well-deserved "time out" from a busy lifestyle, leaving you feeling refreshed, relaxed, and rejuvenated. Relaxation improves health from within, and gives the mind a mental holiday. Post-Hypnotic suggestions and 'anchor' words enable you to access the same relaxing feelings that you had whilst in hypnosis, even when you are in a fully conscious state.

Regular use this CD, will make it easier in the future, to reach an instant state of calmness, reduced stress and relaxation, at any time and in any place. However, do not listen to any Hypnotherapy or Self-Hypnosis CD whilst driving or operating any machinery that requires concentration.

You will find this CD easy to listen to, with no gimmicks, subliminal messages, or irritating, overbearing music.

About Hypnotherapy
How long does it take to work?

Everyone responds to Hypnotherapy and Self-Hypnosis differently, just as people do to any form of therapeutic intervention. Some will notice an instant change and for others it may take longer, but even when it feels that nothing at all has actually happened, you’ll be surprised at just how much has changed, but this is only noticed in retrospect, when you look back at how you were before you started using self-hypnosis. Just give it time and don’t try too hard to make it happen. You will find that the more often you use self-hypnosis, the easier it will be to achieve a very relaxed state of hypnosis, and the deeper the hypnotic trance state will become.

Why Hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis has been used for centuries and is recognised by medical practitioners in the National Health Service, where it is being successfully used to control the symptoms of IBS. It has helped millions of people to stop smoking, lose weight, and conquer their phobias and fears, such as fear of the dentist and fear of flying. Positive thoughts result in positive re-actions, which bring positive success and achievement.

Since hypnosis accesses the creative unconscious part of the mind, where there is no challenge or resistance to new ideas and concepts, the mind becomes receptive and responsive in such a way that it can absorb these new ideas and concepts quickly and easily. Therefore the treatment can be much more effective, and produces longer lasting results than with many other complimentary and alternative forms of therapy.

When Hypnotherapy is used for improving health, the process can actually affect the way the body functions. By focusing on certain biological and physiological aspects of the body, whilst in a state of hypnosis, it is possible to cause blood to flow better, veins to dilate, heart rate to reduce, and white blood cells counts to increase, thus improving the immune system.

How and why does hypnotherapy produce results?

By simply listening to one of our self hypnosis recordings, you will become progressively more and more relaxed until you enter a deep, relaxed, hypnotic trance state.

All the tension and stress is eliminated from the body, and as the body relaxes so does the mind. The deep relaxation process will distract the conscious part of your mind, and while this happens, positive suggestions are given directly to the unconscious part of the mind.

Once the unconscious mind is open, it is much more receptive to the information it needs to change the unwanted experience or behaviour you want to stop or change. When you're in a deep, relaxed, state of hypnosis, you will be given 'post hypnotic anchors', which you can use when in a conscious wakeful sate to help activate the changes, such as feeling more self-confident, determined to lose weight, control a pain or fear, or to quit smoking forever.

How often should I listen?

Self-Hypnosis should be practised daily for the first 7 days, thereafter, use it until your goal is achieved, or when you feel you need to re-affirm the goal you have already achieved. You cannot use self-hypnosis too much!

When should I listen to my hypnosis session?

You can listen to your self hypnosis session anytime you like, but NOT when driving, operating any machinery or carrying out any activity that requires concentration. You should also make sure that you won't be unnecessarily disturbed when you listen to your self hypnosis session. It is important that you allow yourself 40 - 45 minutes in a safe place with peace and quiet.

Will I be in control at all times?

Yes, most certainly, the trance state of Hypnosis can be broken at any time, you will still be able to hear everything, respond to others and be fully conscious to attend to anything that you need to.

What if I fall asleep?

If you hear the count-up at the end of the recording, then you were not asleep, although it may have felt as though you were, and your subconscious mind has absorbed what it needs to. If you are unaware of the end of the recording, then it maybe that you entered into a deep state of sleep. If this the situation, you will have absorbed the information up to the point of sleeping, but not afterwards, so try listening in future in a more upright position, in a well lit room, when you are less tired.

What if I want to buy different Hypnotherapy sessions?

The “Relax and De-Stress” session can be combined with any other titles, but if you are using any other titles, leave at least an hour between them, so that your mind has time to imilate and absorb the information. Ideally, though, it would be better to resolve one issue before attending to another, as the mind can be overloaded with information, and this could reduce the effectiveness.

Are there any people that should not use Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis?

If you suffer from schizophrenia, paranoia, psychopathy, any psychosis or are violent, then hypnotherapy cannot help you. If you suffer from persistent or chronic symptoms, such as high or low blood pressure, please consult your doctor or practitioner for advice.

Disclaimer: Hypnotherapy should be used in conjunction with, and not as a replacement for any conventional medical treatment that you may be receiving. As Hypnotherapy can slow the heart beat down, we suggest that if you suffer with low blood pressure, you should check with your GP before using Hypnotherapy or Self-Hypnosis.
